Hi, Siva,

Thanks for your reply.  Is there any way we can change a attribute value from node side?

Regards

Bill

Bill,

 

May be wrap cookbooks with your custom code where only if a attribute for a particular node is set you it would execute it?

 

Rgds,

Siva.

Hi, Nikhil,

 

Thanks for your reply. what I want is:

check a file on local FS of node, if string is disabled, role or cookbook will not functional for this node only when chef-client running.

 

I can do your suggestions on chef server, but my customers want to control it by themselves.

 

Regards

 

Bill

You can probably run knife node edit $nodename and disable that cookbook/role temporarily. Once you are completed with your maintenance, add the role/cookbook back via knife node edit
